Summary: Luna minds her shop and hopefully encounters some interesting people.
Status: In Progress
Luna hummed to herself as she opened the doors to her shop, the last of her enchanted feather dusters sweeping away the last of the dust. Today, she had lit the place with dark blue candles, that burned with blue flames, casting an icy light over everything. She polished a set of bronze catcherpots, and then made sure the sign reading "Don't Feed the Mimic" was in plain view to anybody entering.
Business was decent. She got a lot of visitors and even if most of them never bought anything, she sold enough to get by, enough to the point that her vault in Gringotts was rarely opened, and instead grew quietly fuller as the ministry's pay began to pile up. She met lots of interesting people, and while her sound traps had yet to capture anything truly incriminating, she was able to file a report on recent werewolf movings as well as alert the ministry to a couple people who were most likely supporting some sort of anti-ministry group.
She was organizing a shelf full of books written in lost languages when she heard her bell, or rather, the enchanted silver statue of a fairy dancer, who giggled and flew around the room when the door opened.
